eBay and it’s current management slate ARE loosers, and will continue to be until some massive change occurs in judgment or direction.

Brews-
I think Ebay is going to have to hit rock bottom. John Donahoe is a loser for Ebay, and I say that not to demoralize him, but as a truth. In another area of business, he might be a genuis, but he’s obviously out of tune with the beat of Ebay.

Great post, brews. This is one reason I’m not selling on eBay any more and you’ve summed it up perfectly.

In Australia eBay is running an advertising campaign that ‘We’re 25% cheaper’. The items I sold on eBay were actually more expensive than the same items I sell on my own site.

I love a bargain as much as the next person, but I’d much rather think I was getting ‘good value’ than ‘cheap’. As the sayings go – you get what you pay for, and if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Whoever is making decisions at eBay seems to have totally lost the plot. They are driving good sellers and good buyers away and soon all that will be left will be dishonest sellers and buyers who know how to work the very flawed Paypal Buyer Protection system.
